Leo was braided by me for the first time 2 weeks ago and he & his wonderful Owner qualified for the CBLM Championships! 🍾🎉This weekend is for Stone Tavern over at the Horse Park, so of course that means Leo must look his absolute best all weekend!! So last night (Thursday), tonight and tomorrow night Leo will be getting his dressage/jumper/button braids (same style of braid, with three different names. I call them button braids)!!
These are last nights button braids! I may be biased, but these are some good lookin’ braids on a really good lookin’ horse! 🐴🩵

I don’t just clip high end show horses, I’ll clip any horse at any stage of their life, cushings, minis, I’ve even clipped as young as 7months old, and gentle giant drafts, etc..it doesn’t matter to me! All that matters is to get all that uncomfortable thick hair so your horses can feel their absolute best!

Reach out today!! Booking fast, but I’m doing everything I can to get everyone the day/times they desire! So don’t wait! Reach out today!!

A little photo dump of me clipping this GORGEOUS gentle giant WHO HAS A MOOSTASH!!! I’m not kidding lol I couldn’t get over his moostash!! Absolutely loveeeed clipping this baby clydesdale who stands at about 19hands, maybe more since his momma doesn’t have a stick that can measure to his size lmao all I know is he was so tall I needed to use their mounting block instead of my normal two-step stool lol 😅😍 this boy was as amazing as the pictures show! He came out GORGEOUS as well!!

Clip Style: only body w/o legs & head!

Precision Matters—Especially Near the Eyes!

Clipping a horse’s face is no joke—you’re inches from their eyes and ears, and one wrong move can cause real harm. It takes trust, timing, and technique.

At SMH Equine Clipping, LLC, I bring the patience, skill, and experience your horse deserves. Whether it’s for show or comfort, I clip with care.
Don’t risk injury or uneven results—hire a pro who treats your horse like their own!

**photo of Mateo who I clipped this past Tuesday and photo was taken the next day for his sales ad**

Send me a PM on my personal account Shannon Marie Hankel or send me a text at 908-839-5909 for more info & to book or if you’d like to speak on the phone still send me a text or PM on my personal account so we can arrange a time to speak🐴🩵

I look forward to meeting you and your beloved horse(s)!🐴🩵

After you clip a horse for your new client and this is the message you receive after you’ve finished & left their barn!!!!! 😍😆🎉🥳🩵😭🐴

This feeling will never grow old and never not be sooooo appreciated!! It’ll be 5years of going full send into my clipping business this September and every time I get a text/message or a written review on this page I continuously get butterflies! I do this because I truly love my career and all the smiles it brings to the owner/rider after I’m all finished and all the bonds i get to create with their said horses! I will always say this, it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to clip a horse, what matters is the quality of work you produce and how you treated said horses during the appt! Quality is always over quantity!!

(Also sorry for the typo in my message back lol it was supposed to say “that means” not “thank means” lol)

If you need your horse clipped for any reason, please reach out to me via private messaging or texting 908-839-5909 to set up your appt and to answer any questions you may have! 🩵🐴🎉😍

When your horse lives outside 24/7 but has the coat of a woolly mammoth, finding the right clip can be tricky! The “Trace” Trace Clip with a 1/2 face is the perfect balance—keeping your baby warm on those unpredictable chilly days while preventing overheating when the temps rise. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and hands down my favorite clip to do! ❄️☀️

Three of the horses I’ve clipped over the last two weeks! All three of them came out STUNNING!!! Mike (horse 1) was 1 of 2 horses I clipped but only got his photo, he got a full body w/ 1/2 face clip, Marvel (horse 2) got only body w/o face & legs and Yogi (horse 3) was 1 of 3 horses I clipped but only got his photo! Yogi and the other 2 all got a full body clip leaving a 1/2 pad (a.k.a hunter pad) 🩵

Everyone is ready for their events and the warmer weather to set in!

Spring is just around the corner and what better way to go into the season change without having to deal with all the shedding! I’ll wear the hair so you don’t have to😂🐴
Available appts for the last week of February and most March, don’t wait, book today!

Merry Christmas to all my amazing clients and their horses! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love, family and friends and of course all your furry kids🎄🐴🩵

Please enjoy this amazing photo I took 7yrs ago around the time of Christmas. This was our first Christmas back together after being apart for 7yrs. And with Nico being one of the faces of SMH, it only seemed fitting 🩵🎄🐴

Merry Christmas everyone, give all your horses a kiss and a cookie/peppermint for me🥰🐴🎅🏼
